this is what the people of la are saying "no" to. this is what we're in the streets about.

Is it brain fog or bad faith? Cuz if you claim to be a radical and an organizer but youre repping non violence when the two most popular political moments of the last five years involved Luigi Mangione (>70% approval) and burning down the 3rd precinct (more popular than either pres. candidate)

Don't wear goggles to a protest unless they're rated shatter resistant. You're better off with NO eye protection than eyewear that will send shards of plastic into your eye. If you can't find shatterproof goggles, get lacrosse goggles. Cheap and effective eye protection from larger munitions.

Los Angeles protest tomorrow (Sunday): ICE out of Boyle Heights

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

oh you’re an ICE agent? do you have documentation to prove it? no? you’re under arrest

Please PLEASE don't try to figure out who the skateboard kid is PLEASE if you're gonna make them a meme please leave the actualperson the fuck alone cops murdered visible protestors from Ferguson and 'fun' internet sleuthing is policing

California Protesters throw rocks at ICE

After several unmarked DHS vehicles had their windows smashed, DHS is now deploying infantry-style escort tactics to walk vehicles into and out of the area. These CBP officers look absolutely sweaty and miserable as the crowd lets them hear it. It's too hot to wear masks. (sound on for A+ heckling)

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

Cover your face. Cover your tattoos. Black bloc up. The government WILL waste precious tax payer money to try and find you from these protests.

Oh yeah, she hated ICE

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

It’s everywhere right now.

Just to make it clear to you guys- having to yoink the NG away from the governor and dispatch them at platoon strength because 400 zoomers are camped out in a Home Depot parking lot is regime *weakness*. In indicates how little power you actually have.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water

National Guard is paid by the federal government but controlled by the Governor so if they do show up then we know Newsom allowed it.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

"Don't fight back, you're doing what they want!" Trump wants to terrorize immigrants and send them to camps. He wants to brutalize protestors, he wants to have an excuse to grab power, and those things are going to happen if you show any resistance to him at all. Your choice is how you react.

Spicy clothes go in a sealed plastic bag, in the trunk for the ride home. Do not turn on the air in your car, drive with the windows rolled down. The last thing you want while driving is pepper spray in the vents.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

if you think there is a chance the "real" police will show up and start putting away all the "bad apples" like its batman or some shit you are hereby ordered not to post for at least 48 hours and do some reading, police are and have always been the bad guys

I'm confused by the white people who think the state needs an "excuse" to go after people.

"trump's ice" ok but it was the other guys' ice too. it's the same ice.

San Diego: **Unverified** rumor that ICE is gathering in Barrio Logan, 1:58pm PT

USIan police have been "militarized" since the 70s. Militarization is not the main problem. US policing itself is the issue.

With resistance to ICE raids, and protests against them heating up, let’s talk about some of the narratives going around about protest, shall we? “They’re trying to goad us into rioting so they can declare martial law.” If we’re afraid to protest, they’ve achieved the aims of martial law. 1/x
